The Spirituality of One Master

Presented by: Master Malik Husain.

In this presentation, I shall share my views, and only mine, of my concept of Sufi Spirituality in the unique and fascinating dynamics of Master and slave. Spirituality, as we all know, is highly subjective. This remarkable concept has been with mankind, from the beginning of time. Not only that, I believe that in this time of turmoil and chaos and division, this thirst for spirituality has increased manyfold. How I see my slaves through this prism of Spirituality is unique and individual to me. How I interact with them is equally unique and individual. The idea of, the desire and yes, a hunger to see into, perhaps only a glimpse, from time to time, their spirit and soul is paramount, for this brings me close to what I am to my core. And this feeds my hunger of my spirit and soul. It is especially important to me now as we are getting older and facing end-of-life challenges. These active relationships, based on power being imbalanced and still finding its equilibrium, are fascinating to say the least. And then when this beautiful dance is infused with these elements of Spirituality, it is heavenly … at least to this humble man of the desert who is graciously called “Master” by his charges.
